grain crop for late phnting in
Oregon is quite equal to buck
wheat, the Oregon Agricuituial
College station has found by re

The following recommendations
for its culture are offeied by
Prof. G. R. Hyslop, head of farm

"Buckwheat sowed at thirtv
five to forty pounds per acre as
early as possible in June will give
a good return of wheat substi
tutes for stock feed. It is a good
feed for poultry and ot'ier kinds
of live stock when in mixture
with other grain. The grain is
rich, nutritious and is a crop that
is easily handled.

Oregon nas never been a
large producer of bucl-wheat,
but all indications are that every;

DEATH CAMAS POISONING
IS NOW AT ITS H EIGHTH
Sheep, Horses and Cattle and
Even Children Have Pecn
Poisoned by this Plant
O. A. C, Corvallis, Or., June 7
Death camas is the least known
of the stock-poisoning plants and
because sheep are very suscep
tible to it the losses art some
times very heavy in Oregon.
And this is the time of year that
it is most deadly, just previous
to and during the blossoming
stage. Losses sometimes go as
high as 50 per cent of the band.
"All parts of the plant are
poisonous, especially the flowers
and seed," says Prof. W. E.
Lawrence, of the 0. A. C.
Lambs are more susceptible than
sheep. Experiments seem to
show that for all parts of the
plant except the seed the toxic
dose is not far from 1-2 pound
to every hundred pounds of live
weight of the animal Cattle
and horses are susceptible be
cause of their greater weight a
larger amount of the plant is re
quired to produce poisoning.
Even persons, espeeialy child
ren, are reported as having been
poisoned by eatng the bulb of
death camas, mistaking It for the.
blue flowered edible kind.
The plant is found in Eastern
and Western Oregon, ranging
from low to high latitudes. It
grows in moist but not wet places
though these places may dry out
during the summer after the
plants die.
Although known to surpris
ingly few stockmen, death eaniai
is easily recognized at f.owering
time by its creamy-wmn: cmsu-r
of small flowers. It has an on-
ion like bulb, usually covered b.v
a black membrane by which it
mav be recognized after drying ter hark of a little ridge, which pro

WINS CITATION
French Unable to Learn Identity
of Soldier Who Gave Life
for Country.
REFUSES TO SAVE HIMSELF
With Pipe In Mouth He TranquIII,
Picks .Off German After German
Until He Falls, Riddled With
Bullets.
With the French Armies. To the
Seventy-ninth Freuelj raiment of in
fantry belongs the honor of the only
citation lu the present war to "An Un
known Soldier."
The croix de guerre, which the cita
tion merited, and which in view of the
hero's death would ordinarily be given
by the French government to the sol
dier's nearest relatives, lies unclaimed
at the ministry of war at Taris. All
thatTs known of the man is the man
ner of his death and the fact that he
Is burled where he fell on the heights
of Saint Epvre.
The story of this "unknown soldier"
Is unquestionably the story of thous
ands of other French heroes In the ear
ly days of the war before means of
identification of the dead had been es
tablished and when regiments were
hurriedly formed, thrown into action
and decimated before a soldier knew
the name of the comrade fighting at
his side.
Story of Heroism.
The only difference is that this "un
known soldier" received a citation for
his life's sacrifice and the others did
not.
This Is the story:
On August 20, 1914. during the fore
noon, the First battalion of the Seventy-ninth
regiment of infantry, which
had been decimated at Morhnnge, was
hastily reformed in the vicinity of
Rosleeres-Aux-Sallnes from a contin
gent of reserves which had been
rushed lip.
That evening before the original
members of the ImltaUoa had had time

by the Germans in a violent surprise
nttack on the heights of the farm of
Salnt-Eypre, near Lnneville.
About five in the afternoon the ad
vanced line of the battalion took she!

or the First battalion of the Seventy-
prance on the summit of the ridge the
mn
full five Minute he continued tran
quilly to flr with ure aim Into Uielr
runtis ofiurp lie unituy tell riddled
with bullets, the stock of his rifle shat
tered Into splinters and his pipe
knocked from his mouth as h rolled
over on the ground.
A moment afterward, the Seventy
ninth leaped again to the assault and
drove the Germans down the ridge.
Thnt night the Seventy-ninth burled
their hero on the summit of the ridge
where he had fallen. There was noth
ing about his person to Indicate his
'.tient'.ty. His deed of heroism was sig
naled to the ministry of war. The min
istry of war did everything In Its pow
er to Identify the soldier, but without
results. Unwilling that the sacrifice
should go unrecorded, the citation was
granted in the name of "An Unknown
Soldier."
